Hi Paul,
ReportBuilder does not spawn multiple threads that simultaneously access
a DB session. It uses a single background thread that solely accesses
the database.
If you are having issues multiple threads access… -
Hi Bernhard,
TppBDEPipeline is deprecated and only included for backward
compatibility. Although BDEPipeline is now simply an alias for the
DBPipeline object, TppDBPipeline should exclusively be used instead.

Hi Bernhard,
The BDE does not support 64 bit applications. You will notice that if
you create a new 64 bit VCL application, all the Delphi BDE components
are not enabled.
If you are creating 64 bit applications, yo… -
Hi Nick,
The easiest way is to create a local bitmap object and use its canvas to
measure the text. For instance...

Hi Paul,
Background printing and Multi-Page Previewing are two separate features.
Though they do use some of the same mechanisms to function.
Background printing is meant to happen completely in the background, out
Hi Stef,
ReportBuilder, in this case, simply follows the rules set forth by the

in Missing fonts on most menues and dialogues Comment by nicocizik February 2015Hi Mark,
Do you see this behavior on every application you run from this machine
or just this specific application? For instance, if you run the main
reports demo and try to print a report, are the dialog labels still empty?<…Hi Jeff,
Thanks for pointing this out. I will add the 64 bit ppJPEG.dcu for the

It is possible to have different versions of ReportBuilder installed on
the same machine if they are installed into different versions of
Delphi. For instance my machine has the following setup.

For a major version jump like the one you are doing, I recommend the
following:
1. Uninstall the older versions using the Windows Control Panel.

Please create a simple example that demonstrates this behavior (possibly
using the DBDEMOS database) and send it to support@digital-metaphors.com

Hi Adam,
Are you able to run the example in the article I referenced without an
error?
Please upgrade to RB 15.05 and retest. I am not getting any errors with
RB 16.01.
Hi Adam,
Thanks for the further explanation. This is a classic timing issue of
variable calculations and traversal.
I recommend using a two pass report with look-ahead values to get the
correct values for your fina…Hi Adam,
Instead of using DBCalc components in your subreport, try using
TppVariables to calculate the sum(s) manually in the OnCalc event. Then
while updating the sum calculation for the subreport, update the main

We do not have any patches for 15.05 that deal with report layout

Yes, you should be able to update the KeepTogether property before the

Thanks for the feedback.
Adding interactive updatable components to the graphics device

Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Are you
